Historical Tidbit
This poster marks a performance from a pivotal time in Nina Simone's career as her music became increasingly intertwined with the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement. The date, June 19th, is now celebrated as Juneteenth, commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. While her most famous protest anthems like "Mississippi Goddam" were still a few years away, a performance on this date at Harlem's iconic Apollo Theatre powerfully foreshadows the commanding role she would come to play as a voice for freedom and Black identity.
